To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The right of revolution does not inhere in States, but in men — not in their character of citizens, but of men. It is a right sacred and indefeasible, a right which men cannot surrender, if they would. It is bound up with the elements of the human soul. It is the right of self-defense; the right to resist oppression and redress wrong. As expi'essive of the right and duty of revolution, our fathers borrowed from one of England 's hero- martyrs the watchword, "Resistance to tyrants is obedience t...o God. " They graved those thrill- ing words upon their guns, and read them by the lurid light of battle. God forbid that I should deny the people's right of revolution. But, sir, that right can only be justly exercised under these limitations: there must be grievances or just cause; all peaceable means of redress must be first fairly and honestly tried, and must fail; and the cause of complaint, the grievance, must be so onerous that submission to it would be more dan- gerous to life and liberty than revolution or war.
